Why Do Society and Academia Ignore the ‘Scientists Warning to Humanity’ On Population? * Journal of...

Sep 10, 2020

The 'Left' (and 'Right') purport to accept science, yet they openly deny or ignore the most important science. "We must see and act on all ‘elephants in the room’ (Zerubavel, 2006) and that means that overpopulation can no longer be ignored or denied."

But woke-ists told me that being fat isn't unhealthy after all. I guess scientists/health experts must be lying to me as part of a diabolical fatphobic conspiracy, manipulating statistics and research... /s

Eating Beyond Meat and Impossible burgers instead of animal-based burgers may slash the environmental impact of your meal by about 90 percent. bit.ly/38Lv8gO

Why Rewilding This Kind of Farmland Is a Win for the Planet

"If all meat products were replaced by plant-based alternatives, some researchers estimate that a whopping 75 percent of agricultural land could be returned to actively help – rather than harm – both animals and the ecosystem."

sentientmedia.org

New research suggests rewilding is more effective than tree-planting, and when it comes to which land to rewild, the answer is also clear: farms.

It's such a truism that even the Bible documents a controlled experiment with the conclusive result that a vegan diet is better for health and fitness. Not to mention the ancient Greeks also knew this, etc...

"I know that I'm trying to be a farmer and that this is what farmers do." Ppl lazily/uncritically adopt traditions, as if what is customary somehow magically determines right and wrong

No overpopulation problem on this planet?

Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, as a ""practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing"...She based the game on the economic principles of Henry George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants."

Representative democracy is a self-sabotaging perversion of democracy that is a gift to classists by providing them with easily controllable choke points. With one rare exception, no country in the world allows direct democracy at the national level. By design - to keep you out

If there's going to be an adjective named after our species ('humane'), it should mean egoistic not compassionate. Or, most people would have to be considered "potential humans" as Diogenes observed.

Did you know that Huey Long specifically helped black folks by manipulating white racist attitudes? From Huey P. Newton's autobiography:

Poverty - Population Matters

"My statement that ‘development is the best contraceptive’ became widely known and oft quoted. 20 years later I am inclined to reverse this, and my position now is that ‘contraception is the best development’.” – Karan Singh, Indian politician #poverty

High population growth both makes poverty worse and is caused by it. Find out about how action to tackle both helps improve people's lives.

We can't make progress towards how things ought to be until we accurately see things as they currently are.

A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society, and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived." 13/13

In short, monarchy and succession have laid but the world in blood and ashes. ‘Tis a form of government which the word of God bears testimony against, and blood will attend it.

The most plausible plea which hath been offered in favor of hereditary succession is, that it preserves a nation from civil wars; and were this true, it would be weighty; whereas it is the most bare-faced falsity ever imposed upon mankind. The history of England disowns the fact.

It certainly hath no divinity in it. However it is needless to spend much time in exposing the folly of hereditary right; if there are any so weak as to believe it, let them promiscuously worship the Ass

whose savage manners or pre-eminence in subtilty obtained him the title of chief among plunderers: and who by increasing in power and extending his depredations, overawed the quiet and defenceless to purchase their safety by frequent contributions.

This is supposing the present race of kings in the world to have had an honorable origin: whereas it is more than probable, that, could we trace them to their first rise, we should find the first of them nothing better than the principal ruffian of some restless gang,

Most wise men in their private sentiments have ever treated hereditary right with contempt; yet it is one of those evils which when once established is not easily removed: many submit from fear, superstition, & the more powerful part shares with the king the plunder of the rest.

For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever...“that your children and your children’s children shall reign over ours forever.”

To the evil of monarchy we have added that of hereditary succession; and as the first is a degradation and lessening of ourselves, so the second, claimed as a matter of right, is an insult and imposition on posterity.

"All anti-monarchical parts of scripture, have been very smoothly glossed over in monarchical governments...Monarchy is ranked in scripture as one of the sins of the Jews, for which a curse in reserve is denounced against them."

How a race of men came into the world so exalted above the rest, & distinguished like some new species, is worth inquiring into, and whether they are the means of happiness or of misery to mankind."
